Landesfarben

Information about Austrohungarian Landesfarben was published in Rosenfeld's book. Görz und Gradisca is an white over red horizontal bicolour.
Mario Fabretto, 16 September 1996

Concerning Gradisca, could that be 'Gradisce', the Croatian (and Slovenian) name for the current Burgenland (Burg = Grad)? Could it be that the old name was transferred to the new Land, with maybe slightly different boundaries? But of course, present day Burgenland does not use blue either in its arms or flag. I have no any idea how old the Landesfärben might be, but I believe that they could be much older than the flags as we know them. I believe that various pennons and decorations were used a long time ago in the colours of the arms. Therefore the use of arms in Landesfärben as flags wouldn't be unusual, even if not sanctioned by any law.

Gradiska: either YBW or WR (3:3). Both flags are heraldically credible.
Gorize: either WRB or WR or WRYB (1:3:3). All flags credible.
